I'm picking up a 2014 FJR1300A tomorrow that's brand new (zero miles). Last bike I bought new did not require initial break-in according to Honda but I'm pretty sure the FJR does but I can't find any answers to these questions so any factual info would be nice.
I'm green on this forum stuff so maybe the answers have already been done so please forgive my lack in experience.
QUESTIONS
How many miles is break in period?
Is there a RPM limit?
Should I purchase the yamaha extended warranty/is it worth the extra money?
RPM limits?
Speed limitations?
What's the maximum sustained rpm seconds......in other words using cruise is out of the question but how long is too long in maintaining or holding RPM (under load of course)?
Any other questions I've missed that need to be answered?
Having numerous break-in's under my belt I truly believe that proper break in is critical thus directly affecting engine longevity and you only get one opportunity to do it, more importantly do it right.
The dealership said they would go over that with me tomorrow morning but having this forum will give me more answers than a salesman in my opinion cause in the hours I've spent on this wonderful forum I've learned that you guys are seasoned, to the point and frequently very entertaining!
From the dealership to home will be about 200 interstate miles on I-20 from Atlanta to the house. I will ride it some but I'm considering trailering it too (taking a friend with).......maybe a bit of both.
Thanks ahead for your answer's and suggestions. I'm gonna try and get some sleep but it'll be hard since I'm so excited about picking up this bike. Hopefully I'll wake up to see all my questions answered.
